I'll start believing in Reddit's commitment to direct democracy when users will be able to also vote out admins and u/spez if they don't like their decisions.
Until then, it's just corporatism under the guise of some fluffy words.
It's like when you let kids vote on what to do for the school faire.
Not only will the teacher and school change the result if they don't like the winning suggestion, you also can't vote to do nothing or protest the event
It's just a way to give you the illusion of autonomy to boost engagement. It's only a choice between the decisions they find (more or less) equally acceptable
